Cheats Banana Peanut Brittle Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Arrange banana chunks on a plate; freeze until solid, about 2 hours.
• Blend frozen bananas, confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract together in a blender until smooth and creamy; add peanut butter and blend until smooth.

Steps:

• Heat 2 1/2 cups of the half-and-half in a large saucepan over medium heat until small bubbles begin to form around the edges. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Mix the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. While stirring, slowly pour the half-and-half into the egg mixture. Transfer the mixture to the saucepan and heat again over medium heat until bubbles begin to form around the edges. Remove from heat and return to the bowl. Stir in the heavy whipping cream.
• Puree the bananas and 3/4 cup half-and-half in a blender until smooth. Add puree to bowl and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until cold, 3 to 4 hours.
• Pour mixture into cylinder of ice cream freezer. (Refrigerate any remaining mixture until ready to freeze.) Freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. Stir in the walnuts. Transfer to 1 quart containers and freeze overnight before serving.

Steps:

• For ice cream:
• Bring cream and half and half to simmer in heavy medium saucepan. Add peanuts. Cover; remove from heat. Let stand 30 minutes. Strain cream mixture through sieve set over large bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Whisk in sugar and yolks. Return to saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until custard thickens and leaves path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across, about 4 minutes (do not boil). Strain into medium bowl. Chill uncovered until cold. Transfer custard to ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer ice cream to container. Mix in brittle. Cover and freeze until firm. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Keep frozen.)
• For tartlets:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Using electric mixer, beat 2/3 cup sugar and butter in medium bowl until well blended. Beat in yolks. Mix in flour, then nuts. Set peanut cream aside.
• Unfold pastry on work surface. Cut each pastry sheet into 4 squares; pierce all over with fork. Place 4 pastry squares on each of 2 baking sheets, spacing apart. Brush egg glaze over pastry. Spread 2 tablespoons peanut cream over each pastry, leaving 1/2-inch plain border. Arrange bananas in overlapping slices atop peanut cream. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake until crusts are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Transfer to plates. Serve warm with ice cream.

Steps:

• Let ice cream soften so it can be stirred.
• Break up peanut brittle with a rolling pin.
• Mix peanut brittle into ice cream and refreeze.
• Serve and enjoy!

Steps:

• Make peanut brittle:
• Lightly oil a 12-inch sheet of heavy-duty foil. In a dry small heavy saucepan cook sugar over moderate heat, stirring with a fork, until melted. Cook caramel without stirring, swirling pan, until golden. Add peanuts and a pinch salt, stirring until mixture is combined well (caramel will not completely coat nuts). Immediately transfer mixture to foil and cool completely, about 20 minutes. Peel off foil and break brittle into pieces. In a food processor pulse brittle until coarsely ground. Brittle may be made 3 days ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
• In a deep heavy saucepan heat milk, peanut butter, and sugar over moderate heat, stirring constantly, just until smooth (do not let simmer), about 4 minutes. Stir in vanilla and cool to room temperature (do not chill). Freeze mixture in an ice-cream maker and transfer to an airtight container. Stir in 1 1/2 cups brittle and put in freezer to harden. Ice cream may be made 1 week ahead.
• Serve ice cream with dark chocolate sauce and sprinkle with remaining peanut brittle.

Steps:

• Tip the frozen bananas and almond milk into a blender. Blend together to create a smooth consistency. Add the peanut butter and cinnamon, and blend again. Taste and add more cinnamon, if you like.
• Transfer to a freezer-proof container and freeze for 1 hr.
• Take out of the freezer and serve with grated chocolate and flaked almonds sprinkled over.
